Despite Markiplier’s significant role in popularizing the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise globally, it appears he won’t be featured in the forthcoming cinematic adaptation set to hit theaters on October 27. The film is a direct result of the immensely popular video game series created by Scott Cawthon. Markiplier’s YouTube channel played a pivotal role in introducing the original FNAF game to a vast audience, which led to considerable anticipation regarding his potential cameo in the movie.
The Scheduling Dilemma
Markiplier explained, “I wanted to discuss the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, and I realize I’ve been somewhat ambiguous about it. I had hoped for our schedules to align, but I want to be crystal clear: I will not be part of the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie.”
Elaborating on His Absence
He emphasized that his exclusion from the movie was not due to any negative motives, snubbing, or any other such reasons. He clarified, “It was initially planned. There was a time when it was supposed to work out, but unfortunately, the filming schedules for both the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie and my own project, ‘Iron Lung,’ coincided. It was purely a matter of conflicting schedules.”
Details of His Unfulfilled Role
Markiplier did not reveal any specifics about the role he might have played in the movie. He stated, “I can’t discuss what my role would have been in the movie, as it hasn’t been released yet.”
Continued Support
He concluded, “So, regrettably, I won’t be appearing in the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, but that should not be interpreted as a lack of support from me.”
Other YouTubers in Five Nights at Freddy’s Movie
The movie features other well-known YouTubers, such as CoryxKenshin, who plays a taxi driver, as seen in one of the trailers. Moreover, several other YouTubers make appearances in the movie as the “Employees of the Month” at the pizzeria, including 8-Bit Ryan, Baz, Razzbowski, FusionZGamer, and Dawko.
Markiplier’s absence from the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie may disappoint many fans who were eager to see the YouTube sensation make a cameo in the highly anticipated film. However, his candid explanation of the scheduling conflict and his ongoing support for the project should reassure his followers. Despite Markiplier’s absence, the film still promises the involvement of other prominent YouTubers, offering an exciting prospect for fans eagerly awaiting the movie’s release.
